    When someone throws a plastic wrapper out the car window, or down the sewer drain, does it ever occur to them where that trash goes? According to litteritcostsyou.org, 1.9 billion tons of litter ends up in the ocean each year. Plastic is polluting Earth at a disturbing rate; humans are essentially killing themselves and killing everything else that surrounds them off this planet due to prolonged littering. What most people don’t know, is that litter such as plastic bags and cigarette butts, do not dissolve or disintegrate, or at least within a human’s lifetime. Marine life and other animals that live near bodies of water consume the trash humans carelessly dispose, which kills them due to choking and other hazardous effects from trash consumption.…

    An outlet mall in Southern California was full of shoppers, entering and exiting the various stores. As groups of people left the food court around lunch hour, they sipped their coffee. Once they finished their drinks, despite the nearby trash cans, they dropped their cups onto the ground and casually walked off. This is simply one example of littering in our society, but if this issue is not resolved, the ecosystem will suffer greatly. Victorian Litter Action Alliance’s “Litter Statistics Fact Sheet” stresses that as a result of littering, “1 million sea birds and 100,000 marine animals die each year after becoming entangled in or ingesting litter”, which reveals the major impact littering has on our ecosystem (1).…

    Over the past century we have seen not only our population skyrocket, but also our technological capacity increase exponentially. My worldview, primarily eco-centric, is focused on the incredible potential of technology to create sustainable harmony between humanity and the earth. We have gotten to a point in our evolution where it will be impossible to revert to our pre-industrial state. Our resources are limited and should not be wasted, this traces back to the fundamental property of the universe: energy and matter cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be converted between forms. So much matter is wasted and converted into a state in which it is impossible to recover it, and instead of draining the earth we should be focusing on developing inexhaustible…
